Published in 1894 by Charles L. Webster, Pudd'nhead Wilson was Twain's seventh novel and includes an innovative approach with a seemingly false lead-in utilising the eponymous character only to have him re-emerge in the climax to provide the means for a plot resolution. The central plot involves familiar devices such as mistaken or assumed identity revolving around a mother and son relationship that exposes racial discrimination in frontier America during the first half of the nineteenth century.
